Lucas 20:4 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:4

The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
] This was a new ordinance, and John must have his authority for administering it either from God, or from men; and Christ is desirous to know from which he derived it in their opinion; suggesting, that by the same authority John, his forerunner, came baptizing, he himself came preaching and working miracles; (See Gill on Matthew 21:25).

Lucas 20:4 In-Context

2 e falaram-lhe deste modo: Dize-nos, com que autoridade fazes tu estas coisas? Ou, quem é o que te deu esta autoridade?
3 Respondeu-lhes ele: Eu também vos farei uma pergunta; dizei-me, pois:
4 O batismo de João era do céu ou dos homens?
5 Ao que eles arrazoavam entre si: Se dissermos: do céu, ele dirá: Por que não crestes?
6 Mas, se dissermos: Dos homens, todo o povo nos apedrejará; pois está convencido de que João era profeta.
